Problem conclusion

• As you probably know in sequence diagram the vertical axis
  represents the system life time dimension.
  Rhapsody default configuration is that for each given time
  there should be a single occasion (self / intermediate
  event / message  send / receive)
  For this purpose rhapsody maintains a minimum vertical space
  between occasions, which is validate following each draw,
  and might cause message shifting.
  The default minimum vertical space is set to 20 pixels. This
  value can be changed by adding
  SequenceDiagram::General::MinimumVerticalSpacing to site.prp
  file:
  
  Subject SequenceDiagram
   Metaclass General
    Property MinimumVerticalSpacing Int "20"
   end
  end
  end
  // An empty site.prp file must contain the keyword 'end' at
  the end of the file
  
  In case the property value is set to 0, no shifting will
  occur.
